Hello crafty friends. Welcome to Spring and allergies.
This post is for LTCCB, anything crafty goes. Please check out the sisters blogs for more inspiration.
This hanger was made as a birthday gift for a nature lover and someone that likes boats. Out of all the images I have, for some reason this one popped in my head as one that needed to be done. The image is called In the Harbour by Delicious Doodles (which I believe is no longer in business). The metal hanger I found at Hobby Lobby ... I think.
I colored the image with my prismacolored pencils. Some of the projects I make will get an UV sealant applied to protect against sunlight. This is one of those projects.
A layer of gesso went on the metal hanger before painting. It was difficult, but I tried to match most of the paints to the color pencils... even though in the pics it doesn't seem that way. It's hard to say this as a crafter, I didn't want to go out and BUY paint to match, so I mixed paints to get the colors I wanted. Shame on me, but I'm trying very hard to use what I have in stock.
The two metal sentiments I thought were perfect for this project and for the person it was given to. Sometimes we need a little reminder that we need to do things for ourselves to be happy and healthy.
thanks for looking and reading :o)
